    Where do you rank it it stood up to Spence even tho he was jumping up two weight classes can It handle a faded yet still dangerous Manny? Personally don't think so but what do y'all say

    Vargas hurt him, Spence hurt him, but both times he was able to recover because neither of them are accurate enough or throw enough to follow up and get him out of there, Manny's angles, handspeed and footwork allows him find openings the other two can't, and to capitalize if he can hurt him, where the other two simply couldn't, the question is, will he? Manny has been safety first since KTFO6, especially with fighters with excellent timing.

    He may get sat on his ass by pac, but I don’t think he can keep him there. Mikey spars middleweights, his whiskers are solid.

    Not just on his feet, but holding pacs belt.

    I'd love to see that especially if he keeps taking risks afterwards

    Mikey just has the right style to fight pac. His best attributes are the perfect package to deal with pacs fighting style. His timing and counter punching skills are the perfect medicine for an aggressive mobile fighter. He can lay back and set traps instead of having to create his own opportunities. That’s why jmm was so hard to dominate for Manny.

    Prime pac overwhelms Mikey, who doesn’t like to take the initiative. We’re talking atg speed of legs and straight lefts.
    Pac doesn’t have the same speed or aggressiveness he had in his prime, that’s why Mikey should be able to gauge his rhythm and time him repeatedly. Thurman started to do it, but he’s not as well schooled as Mikey.

    U beat me to it. My thoughts exactly! Spot on. Mikey has a 50/50 chance against Pac at this point of his career.

    If there's a KO in this fight, it'll be Manny getting ko'ed. But I see a decision .

    Doesn’t matter, a win over pac would give him titles in 5 divisions and put him in a very exclusive club of boxing superstars. It cements his legacy in the history books.

    Thurman started having success almost exactly when Pac started fading and gassing. But to get Pac to that point (where his age really factored in), Thurman had to impose and use his size to go along with power and a high workrate. Thurman barely took a step back. And it got him hurt. Badly.

    Mikey won't be applying that kind of pressure, so Pac's stamina won't be an issue. Pac KOs Mikey, I think.

    I believe Mikey wins a close decision after limiting pacs success with his straight left. And if anyone knows how precisely I’ve called manny’s fights, it’s you.:)
